Group project

Our group's theme was to show an example of unit plan for the 7nd graders' social studies which eventually shares different countries' culture and history as well as their cultural music and dance. The initial idea was drawn by FIFA World Cup and we thought it might motivate students to engage the task actively. From my experience, I think motivation is very important element in teaching and it effects the achievement of task. Having the theme of our project, my part was Korea. I focused on traditional Korean music and dance. It was hard at the beginning where to focus since I did not think I could cover all about Korea.

In terms of technical aspects, I realized that visual image is as important as the texts. When there are too many texts in one page, I feel it is hard to concentrate. I realized that "less is better than more". Also using Gif animator and Photoshop, Audacity were great help for me to work and I learned which one is required to bring effectiveness. For example, Gif animator creates a sense of dynamic!

Working with group requires much responsibility and the positive atmosphere which I think was successful in our group. I also learned different learning styles and perceived each one's personality through their works. I think the greatest part was to link each other's site to our group's page. I felt we became oneness. Feel free to visit our group page!
